She can’t even bake a pie without ruining it. Now she has to save Christmas.

Schoolteacher Anna Fisher can still taste the salt. After publicly failing to deliver the Harvest Supper desserts, she desperately needs to prove she can be a capable member of her Amish community. The chance arrives in the form of directing the beloved annual Nativity play. If she fails, her fragile reputation is ruined forever.

Worse, she needs help from the one person who cannot afford to look forward.

Matthew Stoltzfus has spent three years locked in the silence of his grief after losing his wife and baby at Christmastime. He buried his heart with his tools and now raises his daughter, Leah, alone. When Anna asks him to build the manger, it’s a terrifying request to return to the life he lost.

But as Matthew’s steady hands begin to fix her broken props , and Anna’s patient courage brings life back to his fearful daughter , the careful walls around their hearts begin to crumble.

When a final crisis threatens to shut down the play entirely, they must choose: remain safe in their separate fears, or risk everything for a second chance at faith, hope, and an unexpected love.

Sometimes, the greatest miracle is finding light when you believe the stars have gone out forever.
